Hailey got the oppertunity to go camping with my parents this week. They took her up to Wallowa Lake and she had a fantastic time. Hailey left Monday morning and stayed until Wendesday afternoon. She watched Mickey Mouse on the way there. She rode on her little car, ran and played, and had a campfire. She walked Libbey, and chased Papa around the campsite, and even saw a deer in the nearby campsites. She built puzzles too. She had a great time, then slept like a baby, both at nap time and bedtime.
This was the first time that Hailey had been away from Trevor and I for more than a night. I have to admit, while it was troubling not to have any control over what happened to her while she was gone, and we missed her immensely, it was kind of nice to have a break. I love my kid, don't get me wrong, but every now and then, I can stand a break for a few days.
Hailey came home and was a little brat for about 24 hours. But she shaped up real quick with the rules fully enforced at our house. She seems to have transformed back into our normal little girl, and the demon spawn seems to have vacated the premises for now. ;-) Before long she will be off on trips all summer long, with not only Nana and Papa, but before we know it, with friends... how the time does fly.
Loving papa
